Description

Snowshoeing is a great low impact aerobic activity. However there is more to snowshoeing than simply taking a plunge in some untracked snow. Come have some fun in the snow, meet some new people, and learn the ins and outs of the fastest growing winter sport at our Snowshoeing 101 class.

This 90 minute class will start with 30 minutes of instruction where we will cover how to put on and take off your snowshoes, select the proper snowshoe, and dress for the outdoors in winter. After that we head out on the snow and learn how to get up from a fall, select a comfortable stride for walking and stomping, and turning around. The class will conclude with a guided tour around Nelson Lake Park. Location of hike is subject to change based on conditions.

The price for this Snowshoeing 101 experience is $30 and includes snowshoes, poles, and a $5 gift Rocktown gift certificate. Class size is limited to 12 so don’t delay. Call 630-506-5706, send us an email at info@rocktownadventures.com, or sign up below to reserve your spot. Kids are welcome!

We need a minimum of 3 participants and the cooperation of Mother Nature to hold the class.

We will post on our website and Facebook and call all participants.
